John Fox won’t be a popular man in Bristol, Conn. after taking a shot at TV draft analysts tonight.

The Broncos were widely criticized on social media by Broncos fans Friday night when the team selected three players who weren’t necessarily in line with the many mock drafts created by folks like Mel Kiper, Todd McShay, Mike Mayock and others.

Our own draft guru, Jeff Legwold, asked Fox if the Broncos’ indeed had Derek Wolfe as their highest-rated defensive tackle at the top of the second round today. Wolfe was rated by many mock drafts behind guys like Jerel Worthy, Kendall Reyes and Brandon Thompson, each of whom was drafted later on Friday, though Kiper did, in a later mock draft, predict that Wolfe could be a late first-round selection.

“We evaluate it, we look at a lot of tape. We work at it probably harder than any of the people that talk about it on TV, so we’ll stay true to what we do and not so much public opinion,” Fox said. “Obviously we thought very highly of Derek.”
